Pojo bean deployment lifecycle is not behaving properlysaltnlight5 Jul 29, 2012 10:34 PM
Hi there,
I tried the POJO bean sample from https://github.com/danbev/migrate/tree/master/mcbeans with "test-jboss-beans.xml" as follow:
<deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:pojo:7.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:pojo:7.0 jboss-pojo_7_0.xsd"> <bean name="testBean" class="se.rl.mcbeans.TestBean"> <install method="start"/> <uninstall method="stop"/> </bean> </deployment>
I will paste the bean class for convenient here:
package se.rl.mcbeans; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; public class TestBean { private Logger log = Logger.getLogger(TestBean.class); public TestBean() { System.out.println("created TestBean"); } public void start() { log.info("start "); } public void stop() { log.info("stop "); } }
When I deploy mcbeans.jar in JBossAS7, it deployed successfully, however, it called the "start" method twice! Is there reason for this behavior? See my log here:
10:25:18,600 WARN [org.jboss.as.dependency.private] (MSC service thread 1-3) JBAS018567: Deployment "deployment.mcbeans.jar" is using a private module ("org.apache.log4j:main") which may be changed or removed in future versions without notice. 10:25:18,646 INFO [stdout] (MSC service thread 1-6) created TestBean 10:25:18,662 INFO [se.rl.mcbeans.TestBean] (MSC service thread 1-6) start 10:25:18,662 INFO [se.rl.mcbeans.TestBean] (MSC service thread 1-2) start 10:25:18,662 INFO [org.jboss.as] (MSC service thread 1-7) JBAS015951: Admin console listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990 10:25:18,678 INFO [org.jboss.as] (MSC service thread 1-7) JBAS015874: JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes" started in 3015ms - Started 153 of 231 services (77 services are passive or on-demand) 10:25:18,787 INFO [org.jboss.as.server] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 2) JBAS018559: Deployed "mcbeans.jar"
Also, second problem is that "stop" method seems to only called when I redeploy the "mcbeans.jar" while server is still running ("stop" also got called twice during redeploy btw). However, when I shutdown the server, the "mcbeans.jar" is undeployed, but the "stop" did not get called! See my log here:
10:25:24,802 INFO [org.jboss.as.osgi] (MSC service thread 1-5) JBAS011942: Stopping OSGi Framework 10:25:24,818 INFO [org.jboss.as.logging] JBAS011503: Restored bootstrap log handlers 10:25:24,818 INFO [org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext] Container org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/] has not been started 10:25:24,834 INFO [com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx] ARJUNA032018: Destroying TransactionManagerService 10:25:24,834 INFO [com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx] ARJUNA032014: Stopping transaction recovery manager 10:25:24,865 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] JBAS015877: Stopped deployment mcbeans.jar in 75ms 10:25:24,865 INFO [org.jboss.as] JBAS015950: JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes" stopped in 73ms
These behavior is NOT what i am expecting. Has anyone encountered them?

Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil is bringing the Arena Football League back to Las Vegas.
Neil has received approval from the league to "build a Las Vegas team from scratch," according to the Las Vegas Sun.
Two months ago, Neil became a minority owner of the Jacksonville Sharks. However, he has wanted to restart a team in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Sting went 11-14 from 1994-95 and the Las Vegas Gladiators were 31-50 from 2003-07.
Neil reportedly wants to call his team the Las Vegas Outlaws.
Neil will not be the only member of a hard rock band to own an AFL team. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley own the Los Angeles KISS.

Punjabpŭn˝jäb´ [key] [Pers.,=five rivers], historic region in the NW of the Indian subcontinent. Since 1947 it has been separated into an Indian state and a Pakistani province bearing the same name. The Indus River bounds the region in part of the west and the Yamuna River in part of the east. The five rivers that give Punjab its name, the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Sutlej, and the Beas, merge to form the Panjnad, which flows into the Indus. Except in the north, where there are forested mountains yielding salt and coal, the Punjab is a level alluvial plain. Rainfall is scant and irregular, but extensive irrigation systems using the waters of the great rivers have made possible enormous agricultural productivity. Wheat (by far the leading crop), millet, barley, cotton, and sugarcane are grown, and there are extensive fruit orchards. The Punjab has a large textile industry and much flour milling. Communications (by road, by rail, and on the rivers) are excellent. More than 60% of the population of Punjab is Sikh (see Sikhism).

Fla. police make 2 arrests in bullying case
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) -- Two girls were arrested in a Florida bullying case after one of them admitted online over the weekend that she harassed a 12-year-old girl killed herself last month, a sheriff said Tuesday.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said they arrested a 14-year-old girl because they were worried she would continue cyberbullying other girls. The girl is accused of bullying 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick, who climbed at tower at an abandoned concrete plant Sept. 9 and hurled herself to her death.
Judd said arrested the 14-year-old girl after she posted online Saturday that she bullied Rebecca and she didn't care.
"We decided that we can't leave her out there. Who else is she going to torment, who else is she going to harass?" Judd said.
Police also arrested a 12-year-old girl who is accused of bullying Rebecca. Both have been charged with felony aggravated stalking.
The sheriff's office identified the two girls, but The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes.
Judd said the bullying began after the 14-year-old girl started dating a boy that Rebecca had been seeing.
She "didn't like that and began to harass and ultimately torment Rebecca," Judd said.
The 12-year-old girl was Rebecca's former best friend, but Judd said the 14-year-old girl turned her against Rebecca. Other girls also stopped being friends with her in fear of being bullied, the sheriff said.
Authorities have said Rebecca was "terrorized" by as many as 15 girls who ganged up on her and picked on her for months through online message boards and texts.
Witnesses told investigators the 14-year-old girl told Rebecca "to drink bleach and die" and said she should kill herself.
Judd said neither girl's parents wanted to bring their daughters to the sheriff's office, so detectives went to their homes and arrested them.
Judd said the 14-year-old was "very cold, had no emotion at all upon her arrest."

The Kills | RUG396D | Released: 31/01/11
"Satellite" is the first single from The Kills forthcoming album "Blood Pressures" (out the 4th of April).
For the sessions that became Blood Pressures, Jamie and Alison returned to Key Club Studios, Michigan where they reunited with Midnight Boom engineers Bill Skibbe and Jessica Ruffins. Produced by Jamie Hince, the album was mixed in London by Tom Elmhirst.
For fans of the street hassle swagger and sass that has come to be associated with The Kills, it's all still alive and well in their new material, but with an added depth and thoughtfulness which is undoubtedly reflected in the, at times, frankly heartbreaking lyrics. The Kills haven't disposed of their edgy rock identity, they've merely built upon it and created something even more special.

Voters in Maryland and Maine on Tuesday approved measures to allow same-sex marriage, the first time gay marriage has been approved by statewide popular votes.
In all, voters in four states – Maine, Maryland, Washington and Minnesota - considered ballot measures Tuesday on the issue of same-sex marriage.
Minnesota voters rejected a proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman by a margin of 51 percent to 49 percent, NBC News projected Wednesday morning. In Washington, the vote was still too close to call; however with just over half of the vote counted, the same-sex referendum was leading 52 to 48 percent, according to NBC's electoral map.
Proponents of same-sex marriage celebrating their first popular vote victories.
"Tonight we've taken the talking point away that marriage equality cannot win at the ballot box," said Fred Sainz, vice president of communications with the Human Rights Campaign, which invested millions of dollars in same-sex marriage initiatives.
Sainz gave some of the credit for the victory to President Barack Obama's support for same-sex marriage.
The president said that his decision was informed by speaking with Americans including servicemen and women he met during the work to end Don't Ask Don't Tell.
Obama's challenger, Mitt Romney, had said that he would support and champion legislation defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
Sainz said he thought Americans have become more understanding of why gay and lesbian couples want to marry.
"The hearts and minds of the American public have changed," he said. "For years now we've been having a long extended conversation and connecting with them about how marriage equality is about love, family and commitment, which are common human factors."
Opponents of same-sex marriage dismissed that argument, however. Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, noted that dozens of states have passed laws in recent years defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
He called states like Maryland "the most liberal of liberal states" and not a proxy for the general population.
"For the gay marriage groups to win in the most liberal states is not a tipping point at all," Brown said.
The measures came as Americans appear to be growing more comfortable with the idea of gay marriage.
A Pew Research Center poll this summer found that 48 percent of Americans favor same-sex marriage, up from 31 percent in 2004.
Democrats were the strongest proponents, with 65 percent favoring same-sex marriage in the Pew survey. Only 24 percent of Republicans favor gay marriage, while 51 percent of independents favor it.
Although these are the first statewide voting victories for gay marriage, gay marriage has been legalized in some states through legislative or court action. Those include Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and the District of Columbia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
More than 30 states, including Arizona, Colorado and Texas, have laws or constitutional provisions defining marriage as between a man and a woman, according to the National Council of State Legislatures.
Here's a look at the four states that voted on the issue in this election.
Maine: This was the second time voters in Maine were faced with a decision over same-sex marriage. A bill allowing same-sex marriage was passed by the state legislature in 2006, but voters overturned it in 2009.
Maryland: In Maryland, voters were asked to uphold a law allowing same-sex marriage that the governor signed into law last March.
Minnesota: In Minnesota, voters were asked whether the state constitution should explicitly define marriage as between one man and one woman. Gay marriage is already banned under state law; writing the ban into to the constitution, proponents argued, would have protected the amendment from being overturned in the future.
Washington: In Washington state, the legislature approved same-sex marriage earlier this year, and the law was scheduled to take effect in June. But opponents of the law were able to get a referendum on the ballot asking voters if they want to uphold the law.

As you can probably surmise, I'm a freak for peanut butter. As per request, here is the peanut butter fudge recipe. It's from the Kraft Marshmallow Creme jar to Laura Graff to moi last Christmas in Iowa.
3 c. sugar
1 stick butter
1 sm. can evap. milk (5 oz)
1 c. peanut butter
1 jar Kraft marshmallow creme (7 oz)
1 tsp vanilla
In medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evap milk. Bring to rolling boil on medium heat. Boil for FOUR minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Take off heat and add peanut butter and marshmallow creme, stir until melted. Add vanilla and pour into foil lined (I used parchment paper--you could also do wax paper I'm sure) 9x13 pan. Cool at least 4 hours.
Don't forget to either eat it all or hide it in the laundry room before your kids gouge the bejeebers out of it the next morning.

From our house to yours! A delicious loaf of chocolate chip pumpkin bread with all the glaze licked off and a few bites off of all the tops. By a little mouse. Named Ellison. Kinda anticlimactic after a night of baking until 1:00 am to wake up and find the nibbled aftermath. So I got over it, reglazed them and took them to the neighbors anyways. Just kidding. You hope. Martha Stewart is horrified.
Next morning, it was the peanut butter fudge. Huge scoops carved out from fingers suspiciously E's size as damning evidence. This is the price I pay for trying to get a couple of extra Zzzz's in the a.m. And not putting the fudge out of reach. (I KNEW I should have hid it in the laundry room!) So I'm contemplating her fate: guillotine, the rack, Chinese water torture, etc. Marc settled on an appropriate mild verbal chastisement. Why am I obsessed with chronicling(sp?) my childrens' utter misery as of late? I'm not sure. (Reference previous post of Charlotte's breakdown). I'll have to get back to you on that one after I thoroughly overanalyze it. I suppose it beats corporal punishment.

Parade of Bob's Home Tour
Since I have about five Christmas decorations up (waiting for the sales to stock up since I ditched some tattered Christmas stuff in Iowa during the move), I have to live vicariously through my friends who have NOT abandoned all yuletide cheer. Like my friend Bob for example. A gal I've known for over fifteen years. I adore Bob's house like crazy. Not coveting, but close. The woman is the master (or is it mistress?) of details. I'm inviting myself over for another playdate.

So You Think You Can Take Pictures?
And a hearty congratulations goes out to photographer JSchomaker.
She just beat out all other contestants on "SYTYCTMFKATTGTTPFADPWAIVX". ("So You Think You Can Take My Four Kids and Try To Get Them To Pose For a Decent Photo Without an IV Drip of Xanax?")
For some, it's shoes. For others it's jewelry. Tupperware. Handbags. Dishes. Good makeup. Scrapbooking supplies. Kids' Clothing. Pricey haircuts. Whatever. We all have our weaknesses.
For me, it's fine photography.
Which is why I have about three pairs of shoes (you've all seen them and know the ones to which I'm referring), and I buy my jewelry at Claire's. I rationalize that I can always buy the jeans or shoes or end table, but in ten years you can't go BACK and take good photos of childhood.
I love a photograph that really captures the "happy days are here again" attitude of youth, (not that the happy days ever really left for them--HELLO how bad could life have really gotten as an eight year old?).
One day I'll get my own GOOD camera and learn some tricks of the trade, but right now, I'm at the mercy of the pros. I'm so jealous of people who can look through the lens and be creative and capture color and light and beauty just right.
I was scouring the greater metropolitan Phoenix area for a photographer, and I kid you not, I probably googled about 50 photographers before I stumbled upon J's website. Liked it. Emailed her. Set up appointment. Figured I'd have to drive like forever to downtown Phoenix or some other nether-region of the Valley with kids in frilly frocks.
Turns out Jenny lives two streets away from me and is Big Guy's Primary Teacher at church. Trippy. Anyways, I digress. I'm kind of a digressor if you haven't noticed. What can I say? I'm a verbose girl. See?
The point is: Yo, this chick can take pictures.
Are these pettiskirts not the fluffiest, funnest, marshmallowy puffs of chiffon froth that you have ever seen in your lifetime? It's fun to have girls, I must admit. My kids had so much fun at J.'s studio (yep, it's all at her house and even her garage).
The girl has amazing talent and captured my kids' personalities to perfection. She was like "Would you guys like to jump on my couch whilst I take your photo?"
{Dumbfounded, my kids are all slowly climbing onto her couch looking at me waiting for the maternal rebuke which never came}.
Happy days immortalized.

Lightning Strikes Twice
Brace yourself for the mother of all rants. Just when I had gotten back my false sense of security, it happened again. Somebody at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA, is spending our hard earned money with wild abandon. Somebody is having a very merry one on the Toblers. Several thousand dollars so far at Armani, Gucci, Bloomingdale's, and my personal non-favorite: Footlocker. What a waste. Haute couture is one thing, but high tops and sports paraphanelia?!
So I'm enjoying a satisfying and somewhat nutritional bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats yesterday morning, and I hear Marc holler from upstairs: "Karen, did you spend $1,600 at Bloomingdale's yesterday?" With less than subtle tones of irritation. Urgency. Panic.
Sure. I wish. On a Sunday when Marc was on call and I was sick at home with my kids alone except for the couple of hours I dragged my sorry rear to the church to teach 6 sweet but "special" 4-5 year olds. "Maybe a couple a' hundy at The Target last week combined", I'm thinking to myself. At this point the panic set in and we both knew exactly what had happened. Given how easy it is, we knew it was just a matter of time until we'd be scammed again. We've been on the phone all morning trying to minimize the damage, and have cancelled both our cards. (What will I use tonight for my Target run? A moot point.)
My mom was right again, blast it all to heck. Score: Mom 437 Karen 2. She had warned us that "those debit cards" are maybe not the best idea as a main source of paying for stuff, and that we should be careful.
WHY, in the name of all that is holy and good, does someone else get to shop at Gucci with our money and it's not me? I'm so hot under the collar about this, for obvious reasons. Apprently they actually counterfeited MY card. So when I'm at Chick-Fil-A (for example), and give them my debit card or one of the other 2867 places I use my debit card, some little nitwit copies my number and makes a fake card.
We've been S.U.C.K.A.S. before. Many of you may remember the "Great Break-In of 2004", where I actually found somebody hiding in my boy's (then four years old)closet while unpacking after we got home from vacation. We were living in Temple, Texas at the time, and I opened his closet to hang some stuff up and smelled her nasty cigarette smoke from her clothes and then I saw her feet under the Elmo chair. She had meticulously and ever-so-neatly folded up (in one of MY large Ziplock bags from MY kitchen) all our birth certificates, my passport, our social security cards, all our credit card statements with account #s, PINs, bank statements, etc. Every sensitive document that could've destroyed us financially. More embarrassing details on that episode later.
I don't want to feel like everybody is out to get us, but I've been left with no other choice but to obsess about my neuroses, which, according to Marc, are out of control already. Open to suggestions. Maybe I could use an extra lil' bit of "charity" in my stocking this year, because I ain't feeling any for the perps, and would frankly like to kick them in the nutter-butters if given the opportunity.

Measurement of the effectiveness of an HIV/AIDS intervention programme on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of the South African Police Service employees
L CherianI; LS MaphosoII
IEducational Psychology, School of Education, University of Limpopo
IIPh D. SABC Office, Polokwane
This study investigated if there was any change in the HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of the South African Police Service's (SAPS) employees of Limpopo province after attending the HIV/AIDS intervention programme. From a population of (N=108) employees, those who attended the HIV/AIDS awareness workshop participated as experimental group (n=51) while those who attended the suicide prevention and disability workshop as control group (n=57). Random sampling method was used to select the above sample. Both workshops were conducted at various places in Limpopo Province. Pre-tests were administered before the workshops while the post-tests were administered after the workshops. The results were analysed using 2 (Group: Experimental versus Control Group) x 2 (Time: Pre-test versus Post-test, a repeated measure) Analyses of Variances (ANOVA). The findings showed that there was a significant change in HIV/AIDS knowledge after employees have attended the HIV/AIDS awareness workshop. There was however no significant change in attitude and ehavior after the HIV/AIDS awareness programme. The study recommends that a one day workshop is not enough to change attitude and ehavior. It also recommends that a follow up in the form of delayed post-test is required to investigate if the ehavior of the members who promised to change positively had actually changed as ehavior changes cannot manifest in a one day workshop. This can also serve as a suggestion for further research.

There's no denying it folks: football season is upon us. And boy have we earned it after surviving yet another lengthy, minutiae-filled NFL offseason where basically nothing matters but everything somehow manages to dominate the daily sports news cycle.
Anyway, since I'll be right along side you trying to break down these games and figure out exactly who's going to win and why for the duration of the season, I'll start by explaining my master plan for breaking down these games.
This 'plan' is devised to give you the best shot at picking winners and to give me the best shot at saving face when I pick losers, which as we all know, is bound to happen.
Each week I'll be picking every matchup both against the spread (ATS) and straight up (if you don't know what that means, phone a friend) and breaking all the games down into the following three categories based on my level of confidence.
No way we can lose – locks of the week: As you can guess, these will be the stone-cold locks of the week. The games that I'm so confident about that I'd put my life's savings on them if I had a life's savings to wager.
Feeling pretty… pretty good: Not quite willing to bet the farm on this batch, but as Mr. Larry David would say, I'm feeling pretty… pretty good about these games.
Heads or tails: These are your true toss ups: they can go one way or another and you should pick with caution even after heeding my expert advice.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get right down to it and dive into Week 1 of the NFL season. Also note that I'll always begin with the Thursday Night Football game and we'll proceed to the Sunday action from there.
All spreads as of 9/7 from CBSSports.com
Carolina Panthers @ Denver Broncos (+3.5) – Thursday, Sept. 8 – 8:30 p.m. ET
ATS & Straight Up – Panthers
Level of confidence – No way we can lose – locks of the week.
Lock it in folks, and ring me up for my first "No Way We Can Lose" lock of the NFL season.
There's really nothing not to like about the Panthers here.
First of all, Cam Newton is going to be out for blood after last year's Super Bowl debacle, as will the rest of the Panthers. That includes their top-tier defense that will be licking its chops at the prospect of Trevor Siemien dropping back under the brightest lights in the sport for the first passing attempt(s) of his NFL career.
Add to that the fact that the Broncos lost key cogs on defense like Danny Trevathan and Malik Jackson and the Panthers will have a healthy Kelvin Benjamin back in the fold and you have the makings of a big Panthers victory.
Lock it in, folks, it's going down.
And with that, let's dive into our first full Sunday slate.
No way we can lose – locks of the week:
Raiders @ Saints (-0.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Raiders
New Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will likely get the ship righted in New Orleans and get the worst defense in the league in 2015 back to respectability, but not in Week 1.
I like Derek Carr and Co. to come in and live up to all of the offseason hype they're been garnering with a big time offensive performance against a new Saints defensive scheme. Get on board before the Raiders hype train officially leaves the station.
Browns @ Eagles (-3.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Eagles
This is not a knock on RG III as much as it's… well, it's a knock on the Browns in general. I love what they're doing stockpiling draft picks and readying for the future, but Sunday, Sept. 11 is not the future – it's now.
And right now, the Browns are a severely depleted football club and they won't be able to keep up with the Eagles even though they're starting a rookie QB and have a rookie head coach.
Vikings @ Titans (+2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Vikings
The Teddy Bridgewater injury was absolutely devastating on a human level and I was truly looking forward to seeing how he developed in Year 3 under coach Mike Zimmer.
However, on a football level, it's quite possible the Vikings have actually upgraded their QB situation. (Relax, Bradford haters, I said possibly, not definitely.)
Or at the very least, realistically, this team is built to run the football, play defense and not turn the ball over – all things they'll continue to do regardless of who's playing quarterback.
That's why the Vikings will handily beat the Titans. They'll pound them into submission running the ball and will play stout defense same as they did last year.
Giants @ Cowboys (-0.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 4:25 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Giants
Guys, are we really going to pretend that this one's going to be that close? I respect the Cowboys and all (eh, kind of) but Dak Prescott is not the second coming of Cam Newton just yet. And Ezekiel Elliott is not going to look like Emmitt Smith in Week 1. And the Cowboys' defense is still going to be a bit of a train wreck. And the Giants invested a ton of money in big-name defensive players like Olivier Vernon, Damon 'Snacks' Harrison and Janoris Jenkins.
And they STILL have that Odell Beckham Jr. guy, and Eli Manning.
I'm sorry Cowboys fans, but I don't see any way the Cowboys keep this one close. Giants win big in Big D.
Feeling pretty… pretty good:
Bengals @ Jets (+2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Jets
Ryan Fitzpatrick sat out most of training camp and rust was still evident towards the end of the preseason, but the Jets are the pick here. The Bengals will be without Vontaze Burfict (three-game suspension) and Tyler Eifert (ankle), which hurts them on both sides of the ball.
Look for the Jets' explosive front four to limit the Bengals' rushing attack and get to Dalton much of the day and keep the pressure off of their relatively weak secondary.
Packers @ Jaguars (+4.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Jaguars
That's right, baby – here's your first upset pick of the year. The Jacksonville Jaguars, former laughing stocks of the NFL and the team most likely to fold up and move to London in the middle of the night, will beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
This is the dawning of a new era in Jacksonville, and this young, upstart team is going to start the year right with the signature win of the Gus Bradley era.
Note – Please feel free to direct all hate mail/'you're an idiot' mail here. I will respond in due time.
Chargers @ Chiefs (-7) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS – Chargers
Straight Up – Chiefs
The Chiefs will get the job done at Arrowhead, but it won't be a blowout by any means. They lack the firepower to blow the Chargers out and Philip Rivers will keep it uncomfortably close for most of the game.
Bears @ Texans (-6.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Bears
Here's why: The Bears' defense is on it's way up again. Vic Fangio had this unit playing above its head last year and most of that unit is in tact heading into 2016.
Fangio will find ways to confuse Brock Osweiler who still hasn't proven anything in this league as far as I'm concerned.
Besides that, I like Jeremy Langford and think the Bears will grind out a low-scoring, sometimes boring, season-opening victory over the Texans.
Dolphins @ Seahawks (-10.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 4:05 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Seahawks
This is just a brutal draw for the Dolphins and new coach Adam Gase. The Seahawks will be looking to send a major message to the league after last year's disappointing campaign and the Dolphins will be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
New coach + new scheme + 12th man + L.O.B. = Seahawks blowout.
Plan accordingly.
Lions @ Colts (-3.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 4:25 p.m. ET
ATS – Lions
Straight Up – Colts
Matt Stafford thinks their offense will be harder to stop without Calvin Johnson, and I'm not saying it's true, but I am saying that Week 1 against the Colts won't exactly dispel or prove that grand theory.
The Colts' defense has not been and still will not be a formidable unit and Stafford and the Lions should have their fair share of success against them.
That being said, the Colts' offense should be back in full swing with Andrew Luck back leading the way. Take the points here, but know that the Colts will likely pull this one out. I'm guessing on a last minute Luck drive to save the day and start the season with a bang in Indy.
(L.A.) Rams @ 49ers (+2.5) – Monday, Sept. 12 – 10:20 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Rams
While the Rams will eventually need Jared Goff to pan out into a No. 1 overall pick, they'll be just fine without him in their first game as the Los Angeles Rams in over 40 years.
The combination of Todd Gurley and the Rams' scary defensive line putting Blaine Gabbert under the gun all game long will give the Rams a big victory to head back home to L.A. with.
Heads or Tails:
Bills @ Ravens (-2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Bills
All the reasons this game will be a blast to watch – Rex and Rob Ryan pacing the same sideline for the first time in decades, the return of Joe Flacco, Steve Smith and Terrell Suggs for the Ravens, the Sammy Watkins factor, just to name a few – is exactly what makes this game so hard to pick.
The amount of unknowns heading into the season for both teams is staggering, so trying to pick a winner is a Herculean task.
However, that's why I'm here, so it's time to stand on one side of the aisle.
I like the Bills here. I think the Ryan boys' defense gets after Joe Flacco and makes him look shaky in his return from a major injury en route to a Bills victory and endless Ryan brothers bravado between Week 1 and Week 2 that should keep media types like myself plenty busy.
Buccaneers @ Falcons (-2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Falcons
This one's tough to call one way or another, but the thing that puts me over the top for the Falcons is the fact that Dan Quinn has had his year of lumps with this defense and now it's time to see some returns.
I think Matt Ryan rebounds and that the combination of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman will overwhelm Tampa Bay and result in a Falcons win at home.
Plus, if we learned anything from Quinn's first year with the club, it's that they like to start the year hot, right?
Patriots @ Cardinals (-5.5) – Sunday, Sept. 11 – 8:30 p.m. ET
ATS – Patriots
Straight Up – Cardinals
This one's a bit of a mystery due to the Garoppolo factor and the Belichick factor. Nobody knows how Belichick is going to scheme for this game around his new quarterback and I'll be damned if I'm the guy that disregards the potential for Belichick to mastermind his way to a victory over a great Cardinals team.
Still, I think even with Tom Brady at the helm the Cardinals have the edge at home, so I've got to go with them to take this one, but not by much.
Steelers @ Redskins (+3.5) – Monday, Sept. 12 – 7:10 p.m. ET
ATS – Redskins
Straight Up – Steelers
Two things are factoring into this pick for me. No. 1 being the Le'Veon Bell suspension. With Bell, I think the Steelers cover, but they're a different team without him in the backfield.
No. 2 is the Redskins being home on Monday Night Football. It's hard to pass up the points, especially for a team that won its division last year and is poised to have one of the more prolific offenses in the league alongside the Pittsburgh Steelers assuming Kirk Cousins is who we think he is.
I like the Steelers in a high-scoring affair, but by less than three, so make sure you take the points.
There it is – Week 1 in the books.
Next week, we'll do it all again, including a postmortem of Week 1 to see what went wrong, why and try to fix it for Week 2's slate of games.
Enjoy the start of the NFL season football fans. Good luck, see you next week.
Bryan Altman is, for some reason, an unabashed fan of the Rangers, Jets and Mets. If he absolutely had to pick a basketball team it would be the Knicks, but he'd gladly trade them for a championship for any of his other three teams.

It presupposes that the preceding line starts with a space (which starts a new line without requiring a new paragraph).{1] It also presupposes that the journal tab is active. As I found it impossible to activate the journal tab within the script itself, I had to write a separate script for that. Here it is:
^+j:: ;Open ConnectedText Journal
Run, ct://Journal/20150101
WinActivate, ConnectedText - The Personal wiki System
It actually opens the journal page of January 1, 2015 (and that is sufficient).
For those who don't use ConnectedText (for whatever reason, incomprehensible to me :)), here is the script I used as a model. It saves the journal entries to a text file:

Note: The pictures shown here are exemplary extracts from inspection reports and relate to a particular candidate. They are not transferable to other devices or samples. The only purpose is to provide a little insight into the work of test-laboratories.
Even during development it is necessary to think about the electromagnetic compatibility of the component to be developed. A significant influence on both, the electromagnetic susceptibility and the electromagnetic emission, is in the arrangement and geometry of conductors on the circuit board. Other relevant parameters are eg the used frequency, power supply design, grounding and shielding, line filters and much more. Basically, the earlier and more consistent interference suppression is considered at a design, the more inexpensive it is to achieve sufficient electromagnetic compatibility.
The figure shows the coupling of burst pulses by using a coupling clamp to lines of the test object.
During development first tests can be performed already in-house, as some instruments, such as a spectrum analyzer and an artificial mains network (LISN) belong to our equipment pool.
Test Report
For each test in a laboratory a test report is created. It is handed over to the customer upon completion of the tests. Here an example (taken from a real protocol, model names redacted):

March Comes In Like A Lion
Three Chances For Snow This Weekend
March coming in like a lion with light snow tonight, snow Saturday and a chance for lake effect snow Sunday!
Very cold start this morning with readings well below zero. Readings are coldest away from Lake Michigan. Luckily our winds are nearly calm. They will become light and south later today and highs will reach to 20 today.
A weak disturbance for tonight will bring clouds this afternoon with snow after 5pm. Snow stays light and steady through the evening and amounts to about 1" by morning. Lows aren't too bad and stay in the mid teens.
We'll see several dry hours Saturday morning before snow appears for tomorrow afternoon and evening. This system has more moisture to work with and will likely bring a 2-4" snow by tomorrow night. Heavier totals will be closer to Illinois border. Snow will be steady for the late afternoon and through the evening. Highs still in the upper teens to 20.
Winds shift to come from the north Sunday and there is some chance for additional lake effect snowfall. Totals will be light *if* we even see the snow at all.
Briefly colder early next week with teens for highs. Warmer air by Thursday with highs in the mid 30s.
Send us your weekend fun pics. Ulocal on wisn.com, my Twitter @seversonsally or our Wisconsin Weather Updates Facebook page.

As everybody waits for the government to announce the winners in the first round of broadband stimulus grant awards, nine advocacy groups and a Time Warner Cable executive are calling for the Department of Commerce to boost the amount of funding available for public computer centers in round number two.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allocated $7.2 billion for broadband stimulus. A minimum of $200 million of that was set aside to expand public computer center capacity. "While this amount is certainly helpful, the first round of grant funding shows that $200 million is simply not enough," a letter to Larry Strickling of the Department of Commerce insists. Libraries and community colleges "have been unable to keep up with the general public's demand for public access computers."
The plea is signed by ten organizations, including the American Library Association (ALA), the American Association of Community Colleges, the New America Foundation, and Fernando Laguarda, policy Vice President for Time Warner Cable.
R?sum? services
Libraries have become, almost by default, the predominant public computer centers in the United States. As the ALA report Job-Seeking in U.S. Public Libraries notes, nearly 71% of libraries in the US offer their communities the only source of free computer/Internet service in their area. Sixty-six percent of libraries now report helping job seekers as "critical" to their mission—a 22 percent rise from two years earlier. A New York Library Association survey found that 80 percent of member respondents had helped a patron look for work over the previous three months. "Two-thirds of New York libraries plan to offer online r?sum? and other database services," the report concluded.
Community colleges are also coming under tremendous pressure to beef up their Internet capacity as throngs of unemployed workers re-enroll to upgrade their skills. Most community colleges in the US have seen enrollment shoot up by from 10 to 30 percent while their state governments have cut education budgets.
The ARRA's allocation of broadband stimulus grants is being disbursed by the Departments of Agriculture and Commerce's National Telecommunications & Information Agency. The latter's Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) is handing out the first round of grants to middle-mile infrastructure projects, "Sustainable Broadband Adoption" programs to stimulate high speed Internet use, and public computer centers.
Ten times greater
The lion's share of round one BTOP money is going to the middle-mile category, with only $50 million earmarked for computer centers. But NTIA noted in a survey of the applications it received that over 360 groups applied for public computer cash—a total of $1.9 billion in requests. "Stated differently," the ALA plea continues in emphatic bold type, "the total amount of dollars requested for the PCC program in the first round alone was almost 10 times greater than the minimum $200 million identified in the statute."
The problem, of course, is that Congress didn't allocate more broadband stimulus money than it did. So the letter suggests that BTOP take some of the funding that the government set aside for creating a national broadband inventory map and move it over to public computing. "The ARRA allocated a maximum of $350 million for broadband mapping," it notes, "but current projections show that NTIA will not need all of this funding to complete the broadband mapping functions."
It's unclear from where the ALA group derives those projections. And even with $150 million more in money for computer centers, the need for additional funding will be huge. But the letter certainly makes the case for more public computer center support.
As we've reported, the Department of Commerce has yet to announce most of the grants for round one of stimulus dispersal. The agency is still collecting feedback on how to set up the application process for round two, which presumably will begin sometime early next year.

Quote: Scots Nobody argues with Scottish teachers. This is not because of their reputation for belligerence, just that none of the other teachers can understand a word they are saying. Their own students can, but nobody can understand what they are saying. If you have to communicate with your Scottish colleagues, it is safest to write them memos. Students who overlook the crucial difference between parts of a tiny remote European island are forced to sit through videos of Braveheart. They can get revenge by asking innocently before the World Cup, 'Which group is Scotland in?' American superheroes These have prodigiously inflated opinions of themselves and their abilities. Complete losers back home, overseas they inevitably outshine the indolent, illiterate, ragged-trousered peasants of whichever impoverished country they are teaching in. They are often competitive about learning the local language, which they speak loudly and affectedly in front of new teachers and tourists. American superheroes are well aware that English teachers are near the bottom rung of the ladder of worldly success. They have great plans to move into more lucrative professions or start booming businesses. Oddly, these seldom materialise. Superheroes love talking to you, but never of course about you. Be prepared to do a lot of nodding. Couldn't find PD's site, what's the URL? Kent, isn't it about time you gave the Master Indexes their own site? Back to top Kent F.

It's been three years since I wrote it, but I've still only managed to get five people to read it, and all of them are relatives! I really wish I was exaggerating... It's called The Zoo, and one of the characters is President Putin, so there's a tenuous Russian link. It also stars President Bush, Margaret Thatcher, some monkeys, a few talented whales and an albino gorilla. They're all kidnapped and brought to an intergalactic zoo.

Wednesday Nights plz!
Just cancel them if youre never gonna have them at the rite time (friday night) or at least dont let us vet all hyped for it all week just to get this. I understand you guys have rl, just after leading everyone ul to it and postponing.. 2 weeks in a row . Change it to like saturday night showdowns if it would be better..... Was fun for tge short run they had.. :/
I got an Idea. Since theed is Such a Big Town How about this. The Imps Pick a Person to Represent them, and the Rebels Pick a Person to Represent them. Those 2 people Can not leave theed, and lets say after an hour the Side who has killed that Leader the Most wins. The Imps could starting Point Could be the Star Port and Rebs could take the Shuttle Port and we would have to keep the Fight at, lets say around the palace the whole time. I know it's something like we have already had but, hey. Just a Thought ya know
1 member of each faction is designated as their faction's VIP commander.
The two VIPs are allowed to freely move around anywhere within the confines of the designated city. Walls will be constructed to define that area.
The two VIP's will be given slightly higher buffs. (5k maybe?). They are not allowed to be Jedi. But they are allowed to wear armor.
The faction who DB's the opposing factions VIP commander first wins the event.
Tactics will be required. Scouts will be key. Decoys could be used. Protection squads and assassination teams will likely function separately.
The VIP's will be moving targets. Which will require constantly changing tactics.
The battle zone would have to be in a city large enough where hide and seek tactics are possible. And the larger the city wall boundaries are, the better.
EC buffs should be provided in the Theed cloner, but on a 10 minute timer. That way the penalty for death will be having to wait several minutes before getting back in the battle.
Flags to set players overt will be needed. And ALL players in the city will be required to be overt. That way neutral or covert spys and scouts won't be possible.
If a player is out scouting for where the enemy VIP is, he risks being cut down and killed by the opposing faction if he's spotted. This makes spying a difficult and dangerous task.
Plus placing a couple portals around the city to allow quick warps to different areas of the city would add another tactical element.
I foresee an event like this as being incredibly fun.
Any thoughts and suggestions on this?
Visit NINE Mall outside cNet @ 666, -5300
Sounds good to me, Thats the general Idea I was looking into you just made it sounds 10x's more fun though lol
